Chapter 58, Dock BBQ

With the money in hand, Lao Zhou's family began to prepare a barbecue restaurant.Lao Zhou's family are all neat people. After getting confirmation from Hu Wenjun, Zhou Rongmei began to contact the previous food suppliers in Lushun and the guys from the previous barbecue restaurant.

At the same time, Hu Wenjun used his evenings and weekends to complete all kinds of business licenses, health permits and other related documents.I also visited various furniture stores and decoration cities.Two weeks later, a brand new barbecue restaurant opened on the food street in the university town.After discussing with Lao Zhou, we still use the name Zhou Rongmei used to use in Lushun, called Pier BBQ.On the opening day, Tian Shuangshuang and many workshop technicians who are familiar with Lao Zhou also joined in the show, and the popularity was really good, and it was really popular for a few days.

But after the opening, after Lao Zhou went on a business trip, the business of this wharf barbecue restaurant began to take a turn for the worse. Every day until twelve o'clock, there were basically only about ten tables of business...

"Brother Hu, is there really something wrong with my craftsmanship? Or is it that people in the south of the Yangtze River taste differently from those in the Northeast?" Seeing that the barbeque at the pier hadn't become a hit, and that it was becoming more and more deserted, Zhou Rongmei was anxious first. up.

Hu Wenjun made a rough calculation and concluded that the first month of BBQ at the Pier will definitely be at a loss, and according to Hu Wenjun's operation deduction, the probability of losing money in the next month is also very high.

"The taste is okay. Didn't you see that everyone and I come here for dinner every weekend? It's not about the taste of the skewers. Don't question yourself."

"Brother Hu, you are here to cheer, how can this be considered..."

"It's really not a matter of taste. The big guys want to come to you for barbecue voluntarily." There is one thing to say, the skewers at the dock barbecue are actually really good.Northeast skewers use more seasonings and more oil, making them more exciting to eat.So the current bad business is still a matter of popularity.

To be honest, Hu Wenjun was also anxious.After all, I also invested 10 yuan. 10 yuan may not be a big deal for a boss, but it is a big amount for Hu Wenjun, a working-class man, and the money is borrowed from his mother, so he can't just do it casually. Then it was smashed.

But Hu Wenjun is a project manager at any rate, and it is common to experience the profit and loss of projects. After all, the barbecue restaurant has only been open for more than half a month, and Lao Zhou is away. He is the backbone of this restaurant, and he has to be stable.

Hu Wenjun opened the map on his mobile phone and looked at the surrounding environment again.The food street in the university city is indeed in the center of the West Taihu campus of various universities, and this is no problem.However, the current state of the university city is still in a state of relocation, and most colleges and universities have not yet fully moved in.Therefore, within half a year or even a year, it will not be possible to achieve the traffic of a large number of students gathered in the food street at night as Hu Wenjun and the others imagined.

The flow of students can't increase for the time being, so in the short term, we can only count on the residents of the neighborhoods around the university town and the migrant workers who are engaged in construction.But the problem is that the neighborhoods and business districts adjacent to the university town all have their own shops, for example, the set of shops invested by Hu Wenjun belongs to this type of shops.

These shops not only block the flow of residents in various new communities in West Taihu, but also divert a considerable number of students from various universities who have just moved into the university town.

The shops in the Food Street in front of me are doing good business, mainly because they have opened in the Food Street very early and have accumulated some repeat customers. In addition, the takeaway business is also very mature, so the situation is much better than that of the dock barbecue.And it hasn't been long since the dock barbecue opened in the food street, no matter in terms of accumulation or reputation, the business is naturally deserted.

"Then let's start Meituan's takeout, and build up our reputation first." After hearing Hu Wenjun's analysis, Zhou Rongmei first thought of building up his reputation first.

"I've considered this, and I've also contacted the Meituan platform, and I've settled the account. First of all, the Meituan share agreement, we must achieve a certain amount of turnover every month to ensure that we don't lose money, otherwise it will be a rebate. Secondly, we It's a barbecue restaurant, which is different from the braised chicken, rice, and hamburgers nearby. Our kebabs pay attention to grilling and eating immediately, so that they are delicious. Pack it up and let the delivery guy deliver it to the customer. It's probably cold already. Not to mention affecting the taste, if someone with a bad stomach gives a bad review and then complains to us, I don’t think we need to open this barbecue restaurant.” Hu Wenjun explained while swiping his phone.

"Then why don't we go out and get some promotional posters, get some coupons, hold discounts this month, and distribute them in the surrounding communities and colleges and universities. Big guys will always come when they see the discounts." Tian Shuangshuang followed up and went out again Had an idea.

"As soon as your coupons are scattered, the big guys may gather. But in our store, there are only a dozen tables, counting the temporary extra tables at the door, how many people can you entertain at the same time? We are not Big hotels, big supermarkets, or gyms. They don’t have that much reception capacity. In the end, it’s still the same as when it was just opened, in a hurry, and the guests who come are not well received. The most terrible thing is that the guests who can’t wait are basically all I went to the shop next door to us, isn't this for making wedding dresses for others." Hu Wenjun directly dismissed Tian Shuangshuang's thoughts.

"This won't work, and that won't work. You shouldn't just waste your time like this. Brother Hu, you have to find a way. My big brothers resigned from their jobs in the Northeast because of my face. Those who come to Jinling to work hard, they all rely on this store to make money." Zhou Rongmei, who was a little confused, sat directly next to Hu Wenjun.

"Don't worry, sister Zhou. I won't let the barbecue on the pier collapse, let me think about it again." Hu Wenjun comforted quickly.

……

After a busy night, Hu Wenjun dragged his tired body back home.Huo Nao Nao was still awake, when he saw a takeaway box in Hu Wenjun's hand, the little guy jumped over and wrapped his limbs around Hu Wenjun's thigh and said, "Good stuff! Good stuff! Give it to me! Give it to me!"

"You little chubby, can you ask Dad to change your slippers first. I'll heat it up for you before eating." Hu Wenjun said as he went to the kitchen.

After the microwave oven warmed up the various skewers brought back, Hu Wenjun handed the skewers to Wu Chunchun and Hu Huo, and said apologetically: "It's already cold, it may be a little old after being heated in the microwave, you guys Go ahead and eat."

"It's not bad, my husband. Although it's a bit old, it tastes good. Did you bring it back from the barbecue restaurant you opened with your colleagues? Okay, husband, if it's this kind of craftsmanship, your barbecue restaurant should be Can make money." Wu Chunchun's evaluation was beyond Hu Wenjun's expectation.

Hu Wenjun looked at the messy eating scene again, and he was eating with relish, and it didn't look like it was hard to swallow... This made Hu Wenjun even more convinced that the current predicament of the dock barbecue restaurant has nothing to do with the taste of skewers.What they lack is a sales channel, a channel that can explode at once...
